220: Marc Faber – Buying Asian Investments & Currencies On The Cheap
The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup
Is There a Risk in Asia?
For me the principle risk in Asia is conflict US China. This has been risky Absolutely and right now are you seeing these as opportunities or just ways to sit on the sideline and preserve capital? The media is of course very anti-China and pro-Taiwan and they blame the Chinese for everything. They blame Qatar for everything, they blame Russia for everything. It is a whole propaganda machine and we have to be objective and kind of navigate the whole thing and try to minimize our losses.
TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH MARC FABER
- Listen in to today's conversation I have with Marc Faber about the possibility of war between China and Taiwan. What are his predictions, and what are they willing to do regarding money and war?
- Do the Taiwanese people want conflict? Or is it that the US likes to provoke conflict?
- Where do you hold your assets? Marc shares his basic allocation and the percentage for each.
- Is holding cash a good idea? And if so, what currency is worth holding?
- Why is it vitally important to hold your gold in the country you live in and not in another country?
- Online brokerage accounts. Are they a good idea? How safe are they?
- An important question to ask yourself: How will I lose the least in an environment where things are bad? Marc explains all.
- A serious risk that the governments will impose some sort of wealth taxation. In an emergency decree, a government can do anything; look at what Trudeau did during the trucker strike.
- We discuss Qatar and the UAE and their monarchies, as opposed to the corruption with Canada’s Trudeau and the fact that democracies have the very worst people at the top.
- I asked Marc, what countries would you diversify in?
- If you are holding US cash, what other fiat should we look at? And what does he believe the top 3 currencies are?
